Poem - EMT Prayer

Author Unknown

LORD,

Grant me the wisdom so that I may treat

those of your children that lay at my feet.

Let my hands be gentle, sure and swift

to impart to them your sacred gift.

**

Let me see only a patient's need

not their color, race or creed.

Help me always to be my best

even when it's on my hours rest.

**

Grant me the insight to understand why

patients of mine are going to die.

Let me remember that when they do

there is a wonderful life in Heaven with You.

**

Lord, if in the time of duty I should fall

help my family to hold their heads tall.

For it was You who decided that I should be

one of your chosen few, an EMT.

Very Hurt.....

      So I made the cake you see below for Double D to take into work with him for EMS Week.  I wanted to do this to show MY appreciation for all that he and his co-workers do for the public.  I wasn't asking for anything in return, other than for them to know that what they do is appreciated.


      Instead, what I received was criticism for the cake!!  One person said it was the worst cake she had ever had!! and that it was dry (which it isn't). and no one ate hardly any of it until very much later in the day!.  


      I feel hurt because I took the time to make the cake and decorate it, in between working a full time job and my usual tasks at home, and it seemed like it wasn't even appreciated.  Yet, that is one complaint that the EMS crews bitch about....that they are never shown appreciation for what they do.  


      Needless to say, I won't be making a cake for next year.

EMS WEEK 2012 CAKE

This is the cake I made for Double D to take to work for all his co workers this week:

But this would be for ALL EMS workers out there!
